Fusion T-lum Jt w Cust Intbd Fus Dev, Perc Endo, New Tech 7

This code describes a minimally invasive spinal fusion procedure performed on the thoracolumbar region of the spine. It involves joining two or more vertebrae using a patient-specific, custom-designed interbody fusion device, inserted through a percutaneous endoscopic approach. This represents a novel surgical technique and implant technology.

This code is appropriate for cases where a patient undergoes a thoracolumbar interbody fusion using a highly specialized, custom-manufactured implant tailored to their unique anatomy. The procedure must be performed endoscopically through small incisions, indicating a less invasive approach compared to traditional open surgery. This code is specifically for new technology group 7 devices.

• Verify documentation explicitly states "custom-made" or "anatomically designed" and confirms the device is part of "New Technology Group 7."
• Ensure the approach is clearly documented as "percutaneous endoscopic" to differentiate from open or other minimally invasive approaches.
• Confirm the fusion site is within the thoracolumbar region (T1-L5) for accurate application of this code.
